Psalm 121 / ᏗᎧᏃᎩᏛ 121

I lift my eyes to the hills--
from where will my help come?
My help is from the Lord,
who made the heavens and the earth.
He will not let your foot slip,
he who keeps you will not slumber.
Behold, he who guards Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.

The Lord is your guardian,

the Lord is your shadow

at your right hand.

By day the sun will not strike you,

nor the moon by night.

The Lord will keep you

from all evil,

he will guard

your life.

The Lord will guard

your going out

and your coming in,

from now

and forever.
